Interesting stuff. Have you since heard that many of these things here criticised are papist innovations, and were not and are not part of worship or teaching in the true Church of Christ - the Orthodox Catholic Church, from which the papists, the old Patriarchate of Rome, fell away in 1054?
“But as the inventions of men are woven, so also are they ravelled out; the way is the same, but the order is inverted.“
Thank you for drawing this seminal text to my attention. I have not yet read Leviathan, and had ignorantly dismissed Hobbes as too pessimistic for my taste. Even were this to be the case, his work would merit consideration.
I have always grappled with the confounding contradiction that the seat of St Peter should be held in legacy by his executioners.
